Good news has come for Hajj pilgrims; next year Hajj will be inexpensive than before.

Despite the expensive dollar, the authorities have decided to keep the Hajj expenses low, as a result of which the last year’s Hajj expenses are expected to decrease by one to one and a half lakh.

The revised Hajj policy has been sent to the federal cabinet for re-approval and the policy is likely to be approved in the meeting on Wednesday.
